   abstract: I am a fish biologist with the WFRC Columbia River Research Laboratory.
     I joined the USGS in 2000, and my research has focused on Pacific salmon and
     dams in the Pacific Northwest. My expertise includes the use of imaging sonar
     systems to monitor abundances and behaviors of fish near collection and passage
     sites, as well as passage, migration, and survival of salmonids using acoustic
     telemetry.

   abstract: Research Interests:My research interests include the evaluation of dam
     passage and survival, development of fish passage options at high-head dams,
     reintroduction of salmon and steelhead to areas blocked by dams, and predation
     and behavioral studies near entrances to fish collection structures.  I am currently
     working on studies that evaluate the effects of tidal cycles on juvenile salmon
     and native fish survival, assessments of migration and survival of juvenile
     salmon, and developing methods to automate imaging sonar data processing.
